Gretchen Whitmer repeals Michigan’s 1931 abortion ban, calls protecting the unborn ‘sickening’

Michigan’s Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed into law Wednesday a repeal of the state’s near-total abortion ban, guaranteeing that abortion-on-demand will remain legal for the foreseeable future.

The Associated Press reports that the new law repeals a statute dating back to 1931 that made abortion a felony punishable by up to four years in prison. It was rendered unenforceable in 1973 with the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling, which the Court reversed last June in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

“Today, we’re going to take action to make sure that our statutes and our laws reflect our values and our constitution,” Whitmer, who was reelected 54-44% in last November’s midterms, said during the signing ceremony. She added that ongoing efforts to ban abortion in other states were “un-American, anti-free and, frankly, sickening.”

Last November, Michigan voters approved by a 57–43% margin Proposal 3, an amendment to the Michigan Constitution enshrining a “right to make and effectuate decisions about all matters relating to pregnancy, including but not limited to prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, sterilization, abortion care, miscarriage management, and infertility care.”

Does her Muslim population agree with her on this point?

This woman has the eyes of a demon. Always thought that, and it’s always been confirmed.

Democrats: horrified when children are murdered in a classroom; supportive when children are murdered in the womb.

Millions of women want abortion to be legal so that they can continue murdering their baby daughters and baby sons.

Fetus less than 12 weeks old has never lived outside the womb. My information is murder requires a living and independent individual to be killed.
